We’ve talked about the Blackhawks’ looming roster decisions here over the past few weeks as the team gets more healthy. One of those decisions came before the team flew to Minnesota on Monday.
The Blackhawks assigned forward Nick Lardis to the Rockford IceHogs.
Lardis was on the fifth line at the practice on Monday, indicating he wasn’t in the rotation for Tuesday night’s game.
Lardis was named an AHL All-Star. Being assigned back to the IceHogs means he can participate in that ...

Let’s just jump straight into the new look lineup we saw at practice on Monday before the Blackhawks flew to Minnesota for Tuesday night’s game against the Wild. Teuvo Teräväinen was back with the team in full ( finally ) after missing six games with an upper-body issue. He slotted onto the top line with… Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar !

The Chicago Blackhawks are in an interesting position right now. The wake up on Monday morning only five points out of a wild card spot in the Western Conference — close enough that there will be potentially important games down the stretch.
But, at the same time, the Blackhawks are also beginning their ascent out of their scorched earth rebuild. Young players are beginning to take over their lineup and lead the team. They’re relying heavily on young players to run the power play and kill...
Let’s talk about Connor Bedard , shall we? It seems like that’s becoming an increasingly hot topic around the Blackhawks in recent days. Bedard has one goal (into an empty net) since he came back from his shoulder injury. He isn’t taking faceoffs. And his named found its way into the headlines for both postgames from Scott Powers ( The Athletic ) and Ben Pope ( Chicago Sun-Times ).
After the game, head coach Jeff Blashill talked about Bedard trying to find his mojo still after the injury,...

Tobias Björnfot lit the lamp twice and Mackie Samoskevich also ended a long scoring drought to help the Florida Panthers finish a perfect three-game road trip with a 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center.
After a scoreless first period, Björnfot registered his first goal since 2021 by beating former Panther Spencer Knight for a wrap-around goal after Cole Schwindt won an offensive zone draw back to him at the left point with 4:27 left in the second. It was his first-ever po...
The Chicago Blackhawks saw their point streak snap Sunday night, unceremoniously falling 5–1 to the Florida Panthers at the United Center.
After a scoreless first period, the Panthers opened the scoring 15:33 into the second. Following a faceoff win by Cole Schwindt, Tobias Bjornfot circled around the back of the net and tucked in a wraparound at the right post to make it 1-0 Florida.

Game Preview
The Chicago Blackhawks host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday night at the United Center.
The Panthers season has been a bit of a roller coaster: a sluggish start out of the gate put them behind the curve early, they stabilized into something resembling a competent team for a stretch, then dipped again into inconsistency before finally showing some signs of life recently. After going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and riding a modest two-game win streak — includi...
The Blackhawks played a back-to-back in Carolina and at home against Tampa on Thursday-Friday nights and came away with three of four possible points. They got great goaltending in both games, and the defense held up against the two top teams in the Eastern Conference.
So, after one day off, the Blackhawks host the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers today. Well… what’s left of them. And they’ll be playing the second half of their own back-to-back; the Panthers needed overtime to...

It’s been a pretty incredible week at the United Center. It started on Monday night with Jonathan Toews ‘ return and the incredible reception from Blackhawks fans. Last night, the Bulls beat the Celtics on a jumper with 0.2 seconds left and then put Derrick Rose’s number in the rafters . At some point later this season, the Blackhawks will host a ceremony to formally induct Duncan Keith and Steve Larmer into the team’s Hall of Fame. Who knows… maybe someday they’ll put 28 where it belongs in t...

Ryan Greene dusted off his best Chris Robinson impression last night after scoring the Blackhawks’ only goal before the skills competition decided a 2-1 loss to the Lightning.
“I think we’re a tough team to handle, and we’re just trying to keep that going moving forward.”
He’s right — to an extent. What we’ve seen at time this season is the Blackhawks can be a really hard to to play against. They’re fast. They’re smart. And they’re developing chemistry. But they’re also still you...
As we inch closer to the end of January, the excitement builds for NHL players to return to the Olympics. But, for fans of teams that don’t have any/many players headed to Italy for the Games, it’s also a fun time to start talking about two other subjects: the trade deadline, and breaking down mock drafts.
I’ve been writing mock drafts throughout the season ( my most recent ), so don’t worry about my specific picks. We’ll have a fresh on in the coming days (and more during the Olympic bre...
The Chicago Blackhawks were under siege most of the night but pushed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the shootout and ultimately fell 2–1 on Friday night, picking up their third point out of a possible four on a back-to-back weekend.
The Blackhawks opened the scoring with 2:18 left in the first period on the power play. A quick pass from Oliver Moore along the left-wing boards and a subtle touch pass by Nick Lardis sent Ryan Greene skating into the slot, where he snapped a wrister into the net...
There weren’t many who expected this game to be as close as it was, but the Chicago Blackhawks took everything the Tampa Bay Lightning could throw at them for most of the night. In the end, it took a shootout for the Lightning to pick up the two points in a chilly Chicago. Successful shootout attempts by Nikita Kucherov, who shushed the crowd after they serenaded him with boos during his attempt, Gage Goncavles, and Dominic James were the difference.
With the ‘Hawks coming off a shootout ...
I want to preface my comments about this game by reminding everyone that the Tampa Bay Lightning came into this game on a 14-game point streak (13-0-1) and owned the best point percentage in the Eastern Conference (second in the NHL behind only Colorado). And the Blackhawks were playing the second half of a back-to-back.
If you wanted to be in bed at a reasonable hour, the first period of this game would have been great. We didn’t see a fifth faceoff until 12:39 into the game. There was o...

Game Preview
Fresh off an exciting win in Carolina on Thursday night, the Blackhawks return to the United Center for a second game in as many nights against a top team from the Eastern Conference. This time, it’s the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Lightning have spent the past few months reminding everyone that writing them off too early is usually a bad idea. After a slow start and dealing with a pile of early-season injuries, Tampa Bay has surged into second place in a wildly packed Atlantic Division (.68...
Since the Lightning are in town, and considering Oliver Moore ‘s performance on Thursday night, it’s worth revisiting a trade lots of Blackhawks fans weren’t thrilled about when it happened.
On March 18, 2022, the Blackhawks traded Brandon Hagel to Tampa Bay for Taylor Raddysh, Boris Katchouk and two first-round picks (2023, 2024). It was the first trade consummated by Kyle Davidson as the permanent general manager of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Raddysh and Katchouk were serviceable piec...
